I also heat totally with wood. Have electric heat but it is never turned on. I have a wood furnace in the basement that I put in 20 years ago and have been cutting wood ever since. It is the same process ever year and I kind of look forward to the fall wood getting. I burn yellow locust and we have a lot of it here in Western N. C. The big old trees are dying so it is plentyful but getting a little harder to get out of the mountains after 20 years of finding it. I have a big Case tractor with a 12000 lb. winch with 200 feet of cable that I drag the trees out with. I saw it up and take it too the splitter which has not been moved in 20 years. It is a homemade rig that was designed to split fence rails so the complete rig is 20 ft long. The tires have been flat for years so I just leave it where it is and bring the wood to it. When I am finished there will be a pile of good locust as big as a bus above the splitter. Thats where it lays until I take it to the basement to burn. I haul in a tractor carrier load per week to dry in the basement while I am burning the dry stack I put in the week before. After 20 years I still enjoy the wood getting process. It has kept our 2500 sq ft house very cozy for a long time. Plus the dogs sleep in the furnace room and they really like it. In winter, at around 10 o'clock they are always ready to go to their warm furnace room.

My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
